“Excuses”?? I never offer excuses. Observations, maybe, excuses?, never. UC is what they is—not very good.
Can’t score goals–not an “excuse”, but a true observation.
Can’t hold leads–again, not an “excuse”, but a true observation.
Can’t come from behind—again,…
Seemingly have no intensity or passion this season—again,…

Let’s hope they play RPI in the first-round playoffs.
It’ll be nice to see UC go to 10-0 against the Engees. Or is it 11-0 now??

@2 That is the first thing that came to my mind, I’ve never heard you give excuses, also you’ve never heard me give any for my Big Red. However the yahoos have had years of excuses. Lets hope their recent success will eliminate all their past lame excuses. And I’ve never said they, RPI doesn’t have the talent, because they always have. More then most. What they didn’t have was coaching.
NOW, and this is a fault of the ECAC, we’ll see if the bottom four will make any noise as in the past, in the playoffs.

@9 Talking about a funny guy. I’m still chuckling every time I read your last line. You’re so used to giving excuses, that you bring it up about championships. (And, isn’t that what it’s all about).
Maybe RPI can use championships as an “excuse” (if they ever get to the ECAC Final Four). Haven’t done that in six years. Maybe this is the year.

HUH??? RPI has three, Big Red Twelve. Talking ECAC. You know the first step to a Championship. Keep those rose colored glasses on buddy, I know you’re talking National. You’ll never see RPI win another National Championship in your lifetime. And with the group(not talking players) there now, the ECAC Championship is a reach, maybe this year, but they have to get there first. WHICH they haven’t.

Well Mr.Ed, you’re really showing your stupidity. Nothing wrong with a team having one game over 500, which means you had a winning season. You’re knocking, Union and Cornell, for what they have accomplished, when in fact your beloved RPI has done nothing in six years. And like you say, I’m sure they were thrilled, to make the NCAA’s and got smoked. That was after a very weak schedule. MAYBE, you would be just as thrilled if RPI makes it to the ECAC final four. BTW- They are the only team in the twelve team ECAC NOT to make the finals in the last six years. But, you keep the faith, it may happen this year. I’m sure you’re thinking up new excuses right now! Only one team in the Nation wins their last game.

@15 My time frame has always been present day(Past six years) the time of the worst hockey coaching record at RPI. You don’t have to go to college to root for the one you want to. You also don’t have to go to college to know that saying stupidity means ” a poor ability to understand”, I never said Mr.Ed was stupid, because I don’t know if he is or isn’t. Now, BB continue to root for your team!
And by all means give credit when credit is do, like I do. And I will, if and when RPI earns it!

Now, now my friends. Let’s not make it so that Pete has to step in to referee and separate the posters here!
I’ll stand by my comments.
I’m already on record saying that I’ll eat my UC hockey hat if RPI wins the ECAC Tournament.
I think I’ll be wearin’ it for many years to come, though.

@17 Whoa, U got no friends here, except when U beats RPI, then I’ll be your best friend. Seems that you and I are the only ones who will give credit when it’s due. Q is having a great year. Big Red is awful. RPI is having a long over due run, can they keep it up, sure hope not.
Just hope ol Pete don’t act like that Russian ref.
Then I’d be forced to buy a second hand paper, maybe one from across the river. UGH!

Nice. You are a hoot, FF, always good for a smile here.
The vid of that Russian ref was wild; WOW.
UC MIGHT have a chance to salvage an NCAA berth, IF they can do some Ivy damage this weekend, especially tonight against them Bulldogs.
It’s actually good that RPI is a PWR TUC now, given that UC beat them 3 times already. ;-)

Fact is Union this year is not the same as past few years with it’s own set of problems/issues to fix……last few games will tell the tail of swimming or sinking.
As for RPI you have to give them credit they are playing better, coming together as a team who knows they might be the team to make some noise this year.
